She had a quality of classy intelligence,always rising above the "blond glamor decoration type" character.I think she brought a sense of self assurance and dignity to her characters..Her private life was her own business.
Lizabeth Scott, was disclaimed by the film critics as a second rate Lauren Bacall but though they do have similar qualities in my opinion they are quite different in their acting abilities. Lizabeth Scott's screen debut was in the film You Came Along (1945, Paramount Pictures) Scott had the starring role as Ivy "Hotcha" Hotchkiss, while the screenplay was written by controversial Ayn Rand and well directed by John Farrow. But it was her next film that she struck gold The Strange Love Of Martha Ivers (1946, Paramount Pictures) and it was her first entry into realm of Noir. Of all her films the one that she will be remembered for will be Too Late For Tears (1949, United Artists) here she plays Jane Palmer a femme fatale in every sense of expression here displaying a complete lack of conscience and empathy as she murders anyone who gets in her way. She was so convincing as the seductive, husky-voiced scheming who is pathologically unable to understand the enormity of her crimes. One of her first victims was her poor husband who didn't have a chance. Even the presence of Dan Duryea a noted Noir villain himself could not even save himself against Scott. Of her 22 films, she was the leading lady in all but one. In addition to stage and radio, she appeared on television from the late 1940s to early 1970s. As Film Noir became more and more popular so too has Lizabeth Scott she had been gaining a belated reputation as a superior actress. What set her apart from other film noir actresses was her unmannered projection of the now archaic tough girl which was direct and vibrant thus elevating it from the confines of its times. Scott's style of acting, characteristic of other film actors of the 1940s -- a cool, naturalistic underplay derived from multiple sources -- was often not appreciated by critics who preferred the more emphatic stage styles of the pre-film era or the later method acting styles. Unlike her predecessors at Paramount, Lizabeth Scott was not contracted to the studio but to the company's leading independent producer Hal B. Wallis, who, like David O. Selznick before him made a lucrative business of loaning out his contract players to other producers and studios with a substantial profit for himself. Scott shared a "hard-boiled" quality with other actresses who emerged in the1940's such as Ida Lupino, Lana Turner, Rita Hayworth, and Ann Sheridan. They were a step beyond the wise-cracking platinum blonde of just a few years previous, with a sharp sense of fashion and an air of "I don’t really need a man" toughness. With films like Desert Fury (1947), I Walk Alone (1948), Pitfall (1948), and Too Late for Tears (1949), Lizabeth solidified her title as the Queen of Noir. Scott had sparkling, luminous eyes, shimmering blonde locks, sculpted cheekbones, slinky figure and husky voice (“Cinderella with a husky voice,” Bogart’s character describes her when he first meets her), Lizabeth Scott exuded an irresistible allure, but the kind of feline allure that belies danger and a maelstrom of scheming, deceit and betrayal. On screen, she came off as beautiful in an otherworldly kind of way (Lizabeth herself didn’t think of her as beautiful, but interesting) - she seemed she was always thinking elsewhere, always dreaming up a different kind of life, which plays up only too well for a noir character. When the breakdown of the studio's star system started in the early to mid-1950s this worked to Lizabeth Scott's disadvantage. Paramount was disinclined to promote a free-lance player who was so tenuously not a part of its set-up. Compounding her plight was her rebellious individuality and outspokenness. She had little use for the conventional homage usually paid to the establishment in the film industry, and rarely kowtowed to the ranking institutions, gossip columnists especially the two dragons of Hollywood: Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper. With rare exceptions in films as Paid In Full (1950, Paramount Pictures) here as the good sister who sacrifices everything even her own life for her self-centered younger sister played with verve by Diana Lynn. Usually Lizabeth Scott was stereotyped on the screen as the corrupt chanteuse who had no desire or will to change her sinister ways. Meaning that Scott was doomed to find a worthwhile good guy to love her but only when it was too late and she had already passed the point of redemption. She worked best in tandem with such strong screen personalities as Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas and Charlton Heston. In 2003, film historian Bernard F. Dick interviewed Scott for his biography of Wallis. The results was an entire chapter titled "Morning Star." In the chapter, the author observed that during the interview, Scott (then 80 or 81 years old) was still able to recite her opening monologue word for word from the play "The Skin of Our Teeth", which she had learned six decades earlier. Lizabeth Scott died of congestive heart failure at the age of 92 on January 31, 2015.
You did a better job than the guy who created this repetitious clip with all the subscribe and notifications prompts littered within it. He obviously doesn’t do his research quite as well as you do yours. Thanks.
Only discovered her in recent times, quite a unique actress with that voice of hers. I think she was great in film noir and much underrated in her time which was most unfair.
THE FUNNY THING ABOUT SCOTT WAS SHE WAS ALWAYS DUBBED WHEN SHE WAS SUPPOSE TO SING IN FILMS...BUT LATER IT WAS DISCOVERED SHE HAD A FINE SINGING VOICE .....CRAZY...THIS HAPPENED TO AVA GARDNER ALSO....
Thought/think she is terrific - much better than the others you mentioned, though like Veronica Lake but Lizabeth has a fascinating androgeny, a dual look that borders on being almost perilously not goodlooking and look again - and she is quite beautiful. A mystery, and that's why she is better than the others. She also had a far wider range than Veronica and Lauren who I like as well but Lizabeth's got IT. She's deeper.
Being an actress was one of the first jobs women had where they could earn a lot of money and stand on their own. They had so many choices on how they wanted to live their lives. Instead of being a housewife, they could be a star earning their own money getting to chose what type of life they wanted. Sometimes it worked out sometimes it didn't. She was very pretty, who knows what really happened, so many heartbreaking incidents for women and most took it to the grave. Only known two actresses that came out. Glad she was able to active in organizations she supported.
Narrator- why do you repeat certain items over and over, and jump back and forth on the timeline on all your videos? Could you please try to do better?
Have the tactics of Hush Hush ragazine really ever gone away? A cursory look at RUclips channels suggests otherwise. I respect any woman, of any time, who defends themselves. Whether she was a sex worker (and there are many current famous ones at work today) or not, she was a great actor. The Strange Love of Martha Ivers left a compelling impression on me, as a child. She seethed with resentment and barely contained rage. What a human being this was.
Her uncle was my mother's dentist in Scranton. She definitely was NOT Gay, she did marry - men - twice and was supposedly engaged to a man who died shortly before they were to marry. But she was intensely private and even more so after that rag smeared her. Remember she was Hal Wallis's mistress too - and could he have had something to do with what happened especially after they broke up? Hmmm.
Now this is why I like this channel. I've never heard of this actress, and will be studying up on her.. I think that she is more beautiful than Lake but just short of Bacall which puts her in good company in everyone else.
AofV, Lizabeth Scott career came at a time when Veronica Lake & Lauren Bacall all converged. Scott's Husky Voice much like Bacall's was Alluring and Intriguing to say the least. She was another Star that should have had more of a Career and Success & No Confidential Magazine Coverage.
Are you talking about Actress Barbara Baines ? Married to Actor Martin Landel ? Both Starred in Mission Impossible TV Series , Both Good Actors . . . .
Yes, because I don’t have kids BY choice, and it wasn’t too long ago that the insults were numerous! I just ignored them. Rude bastards. I myself never ask someone why they choose not to have kids! My first husband left me, said it had nothing to do with that fact….although I had to have surgery that left me unable to have kids anyway! But, shortly after he remarried, he had a son. Well, I always wished him well.
Lizabeth Scott was so incredibly beautiful. She was also a brilliant actor. In my humble apinion she was so very much under appreciated. She steamed with class. And beauty. And always stole the scene. I personally think she was without a doubt simply perfection.
Supposedly she was longtime mistress of Hal B. Wallis, who produced several of her films. In the late '60s she was engaged to Texas oilman William Dugger, but the man died before they could be married. Surprising the narrator does not mention these nuggets in the course of the video.
I wager she was bisexual and had a taste for women. The number in a call girl’s black book is a pretty good indication that there was more going on than she fessed up to. I wouldn’t be surprised that in time it comes out that Confidential wasn’t all wrong. Privacy for celebrities is hard to maintain and when it explodes there is usually some truth to what is exposed. So what if she was a muff diver? Plenty girls were.
As a 10 year-old I saw Libazeth Scott onscreen. She left an indelible impression through the years like no other actress. She was what every woman woman would like to be -- she was beautiful but she was bad.
You left a lot out of this like the fact that she was engaged and had numerous affairs. I do not think this was an accurate portrayal at all of her personal life.
Yes, I looked her up on Google and she was married twice. Just one year each. Rich people lose a lot of money in divorce and they get gun shy of it. This was cruel to put in about her.
15:49. Nice shot of Louis Calhern and Marilyn Monroe from ‘’Asphalt Jungle”. The technicality that sank her suit against Confidential was the fact she filed in California, but the magazine was published in New York. Confidential did settle with some stars (like Liberace) for pittances compared to what they demanded. Many stars were subpoenaed to testify in court, but were terrified to do so because more often than not the filth that was published was…..true; no one wanted to purger themselves. It was later sold in the late fifties and became similar to garbage like the National Enquirer.
As an innocent boy who loved old movies, I thought Lizabeth Scott was fascinating on every level. Her cigarette voice was alluring. MyDarkMarc's post (below) tells it all better than I could.
In 1942, Scott was understudy to Tallulah Bankhead in the role of Sabina in the original Broadway play "The Skin of Our Teeth" by Thornton Wilder. A year later after Bankhead dropped out and was replaced by Gladys George who later became ill, Scott replaced her in Boston... it was her breakthrough role. At age 21 at the Stork Club, she was discovered by Hal B Wallis, the producer at Paramount Studios at that time.
How could she be compared to Lake who’s career was over by mid WW ll. So lake missed most of the noir years. On another note why does this series repeat information so much?
Not seeing how anybody could call her either beautiful or feminine, but your views and revelations are always of interest. We're living through a time when all the accusations of same-sex inclination are coming true -- and lots that were never made!
It's a bit dishonest of you to all but explicitly state Scott was a homosexual, while ignoring the fact that she married at least one man, and was actually Hal Wallis and later, Burt Bacharach's mistress.
I don’t mean to be disrespectful to the deceased, but I simply could not watch her performances. If she was in a movie, I couldn’t sit through it. Her expressions never changed (she always looked bored), she never smiled and she had an irritating baby-talk lisp. Sorry. Not a fan.
She had a quality of classy intelligence,always rising above the "blond glamor decoration type" character.I think she brought a sense of self assurance and dignity to her characters..Her private life was her own business.
There was something about her when she appeared on screen that you didn't want to miss any second of her performance.
She was a strong lady...a dame as they would say. She lived across the street from me at one time. Still remained the same and was a nice lady.
Are you related to the fabulous Ms. Rita Moreno?
Do you live on Hollywood Blvd?
So cool you got to meet her.
Love this. She seemed to know who she was in a time when few dared to.
I think the camera loved her. She had something that just made you watch her on screen. She is one of my favorite classic stars.
Never liked her. Very artificial. No competition for contemporary actors.
Agreed - & she was tailor-made for film noir, even to the point of disappearing after the genre faded.
@@elliotskydel641lol. More memorable than any shit contemporary actresses coolie cutters.

Fabulous presentation !

Whoever wrote this piece on Liz Scott wrote an excellent evolution of an actress!!!!
Only discovered her in recent times, quite a unique actress with that voice of hers. I think she was great in film noir and much underrated in her time which was most unfair.
I liked her in Too Late for tears 😢 🙃
THE FUNNY THING ABOUT SCOTT WAS SHE WAS ALWAYS DUBBED WHEN SHE WAS SUPPOSE TO SING IN FILMS...BUT LATER IT WAS DISCOVERED SHE HAD A FINE SINGING VOICE .....CRAZY...THIS HAPPENED TO AVA GARDNER ALSO....
And Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. Sometimes it's not enough to have a 'good' voice.
The ultimate stupidity was a film in which they dubbed Angela 'Mame' Lansbury.
She was great in desert fury , with Lancaster, I wish she would have been in more movies
At the 15:47 mark, that's Marilyn Monroe and Louis Calhern form the movie The Asphalt Jungle.
Really liked her in Dead Reckoning (1947) with Humphrey Bogart
Thought/think she is terrific - much better than the others you mentioned, though like Veronica Lake but Lizabeth has a fascinating androgeny, a dual look that borders on being almost perilously not goodlooking and look again - and she is quite beautiful. A mystery, and that's why she is better than the others. She also had a far wider range than Veronica and Lauren who I like as well but Lizabeth's got IT. She's deeper.
I really like her in “Pitfall”,”The Weapon” and “Loving You”.She was unique ; a quality that surely defines a “star”.
She was beautiful and intense. SHAME the studio didn't stand by her.
I always thought she was both great and memorable.
Being an actress was one of the first jobs women had where they could earn a lot of money and stand on their own. They had so many choices on how they wanted to live their lives. Instead of being a housewife, they could be a star earning their own money getting to chose what type of life they wanted. Sometimes it worked out sometimes it didn't.
She was very pretty, who knows what really happened, so many heartbreaking incidents for women and most took it to the grave. Only known two actresses that came out. Glad she was able to active in organizations she supported.
Loved her work, thanks 4 bringing her story 2 us
Narrator- why do you repeat certain items over and over, and jump back and forth on the timeline on all your videos? Could you please try to do better?
Agreed.
That is a good question. That's why I get disgueste and get tired of watching these things.
Her name was not Elizabeth like the narrator says. Her name was LIZABETH, there's no "E."
It was Elizabeth before she dropped the E.
Thanks very much love her movies
One of my favorites in Film Noirs.
Loved her performance in Scared Stiff!❤️
Have the tactics of Hush Hush ragazine really ever gone away? A cursory look at RUclips channels suggests otherwise. I respect any woman, of any time, who defends themselves.
Whether she was a sex worker (and there are many current famous ones at work today) or not, she was a great actor. The Strange Love of Martha Ivers left a compelling impression on me, as a child. She seethed with resentment and barely contained rage. What a human being this was.
That's Marilyn Monroe (at 15:47), you big Banana Head..!
She was great. Loved her with Van Heflin in Martha Ivers.
She looks a lot like Lauren Bacall like they could be twins!
She was originally marketed as competition to Bacall
What an awesome lady!
Liz was wonderful !!
What a legend.
15:50 That photo is not of Scott but of MARILYN MONROE with Louis Calhern from 'Clash by Night'
Love lizabeth!
She did the best she could.
Liz hated Army deserters. She’s cussin when she saw one
I saw her streaming an old episode of Burke's Law.
She was terrific as the scarlet woman in Film Noir!
I have always been inspired by Lizebeth Scott.
You have a much power as a grain of sand in a ocean of sand you will be broken
Her uncle was my mother's dentist in Scranton. She definitely was NOT Gay, she did marry - men - twice and was supposedly engaged to a man who died shortly before they were to marry. But she was intensely private and even more so after that rag smeared her.
Remember she was Hal Wallis's mistress too - and could he have had something to do with what happened especially after they broke up? Hmmm.
So, your MOTHER'S DENTIST was "the authority on Scott's sexual orientation"? You DO see how incredibly stupid your comment sounds
Ava Gardener and Lana Turner both married men, both also liked women. It is called bi-sexual.
A real looker. I never heard of her before.
Very interesting video! Great photos, but that's not Lizabeth Scott at 15:47. That's MM.
Now this is why I like this channel. I've never heard of this actress, and will be studying up on her.. I think that she is more beautiful than Lake but just short of Bacall which puts her in good company in everyone else.
It's not just looks, it's screen presence - & she had it in bucketloads - especially in film noir roles, which were made for her.
@@appledoreman you just can't keep your eyes off her in every scene. Love her!!
Learn the truth when "Lunch With Lizabeth" comes out on her 100th birthday!
15:48 that’s not Scott, but Marilyn Monroe.
Very true.
Yes, & the film's The Asphalt Jungle.
She was very good in 1953's Scared Stiff with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
She was great in every thing I saw her in haven't seen Pulp but sure gonna look it up
Wasn’t she in a movie as manager to Elvis Presley character??
PS he added this at the end ..lol
Strange Loves of Martha Ivers is great
Very alluring indeed!! 💗
TRES Cool/Heavy=Film Noir!

The photo at 15:51 is Marilyn Monroe and you repeat yourself a lot.
13:50 a young Don Defore.
15.50 mins into this video, that is not Scott but Marilyn Monroe. UK
thank you
barbara bain's photos appeared from time to time
Are you talking about Actress Barbara Baines ? Married to Actor Martin Landel ? Both Starred in Mission Impossible TV Series , Both Good Actors . . . .
Just because a woman wants to have lovers, not have children and live life on her own terms, the insults come , even in this day and time.
Yes, because I don’t have kids BY choice, and it wasn’t too long ago that the insults were numerous! I just ignored them. Rude bastards. I myself never ask someone why they choose not to have kids!
My first husband left me, said it had nothing to do with that fact….although I had to have surgery that left me unable to have kids anyway! But, shortly after he remarried, he had a son.
Well, I always wished him well.
She was special! TYVM!
25 bucks an hour was a fortune in the 1940s !
15:53, not her, MM!
I'm confused was she in the movie Pulp or not? You only mentioned it 20 times.
14:20 a cool pic.
YOU FORGOT THAT FILM SHE MADE WITH ELVIS IN 1957........
He mentioned "Loving You" a few times toward the end
You forgot the film Desert Furry 1947 in technicolor ,one of my favorites films...! A subversive film for the time with elements of homosexuality ...
Great moie! Was John Hodiak in that one too?
Pitfall !

Just discovered her Love her movies She was a threat because of her Beauty
You left a lot out of this like the fact that she was engaged and had numerous affairs. I do not think this was an accurate portrayal at all of her personal life.
Please tell us more, if you have it. Fascinating person who deserves more attention.
Yes, I looked her up on Google and she was married twice. Just one year each. Rich people lose a lot of money in divorce and they get gun shy of it. This was cruel to put in about her.
It wasn't.
A beautiful woman.
She died in 2015 she was 92.
15:49. Nice shot of Louis Calhern and Marilyn Monroe from ‘’Asphalt Jungle”.
The technicality that sank her suit against Confidential was the fact she filed in California, but the magazine was published in New York.

As an innocent boy who loved old movies, I thought Lizabeth Scott was fascinating on every level. Her cigarette voice was alluring. MyDarkMarc's post (below) tells it all better than I could.
She’s was great in Loving You with Elvis.
This narratives voice is heavenly ✌️💙
Yes l thought Lauren Bacall too! 😀
Omg there is a model who looks just like her who works for chanel you know
NOTE: The narrator's text is AI--repetitive and lacking in editorial care. But the pictures are terrific.
WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE STAGE SHOW STARRING BANKHEAD THAT SCOTT WAS UNDER STUDY IN ?????
In 1942, Scott was understudy to Tallulah Bankhead in the role of Sabina in the original Broadway play "The Skin of Our Teeth" by Thornton Wilder. A year later after Bankhead dropped out and was replaced by Gladys George who later became ill, Scott replaced her in Boston... it was her breakthrough role. At age 21 at the Stork Club, she was discovered by Hal B Wallis, the producer at Paramount Studios at that time.
She had a very strong personality, maybe rivaling Bette Davis
How could she be compared to Lake who’s career was over by mid WW ll. So lake missed most of the noir years. On another note why does this series repeat information so much?
Didn't she kill her fiance ? And why did they call her a lesbian? And those days was it something horrible ?
Stop repeating yourself over and over just to pad the videos out.
She reminds me of the British actress Honor Blackman. UK
Not seeing how anybody could call her either beautiful or feminine, but your views and revelations are always of interest. We're living through a time when all the accusations of same-sex inclination are coming true -- and lots that were never made!
better than baccal
The camera loved her, but she wasn't a very good actress.
It's a bit dishonest of you to all but explicitly state Scott was a homosexual, while ignoring the fact that she married at least one man, and was actually Hal Wallis and later, Burt Bacharach's mistress.
I watched a movie once with her in it. It wasn't bad. I thought she looked like Bacall.
Bacall was good but never great, to me. A man’s woman, even with her posturing. Scott was real deal on the screen.
Noir? After WW II audiences had dealt with war and death, and sacrifice. They were more mature. Andy Hardy type movies were childish to them.
How did she die zippy? 😳
Lauren bacall lookalike.
Hardly; she was a Liz Scott lookalike.
She was sleeping with the director. Not a good actress
I don’t mean to be disrespectful to the deceased, but I simply could not watch her performances. If she was in a movie, I couldn’t sit through it. Her expressions never changed (she always looked bored), she never smiled and she had an irritating baby-talk lisp. Sorry. Not a fan.
YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR OWN OPINION.
I LOVED HER.
BUT, I CAN ACCEPT THAT HER TYPE OF WOMAN WOULD NOT APPEAL TO EVERYONE.
Her voice makes me cringe. But my voice would probably do the same to her.
Never thought she was glamorous or gorgeous. That husky voice sounded like a man.
She was a great actress but I don’t see her as beautiful 🙄
Nice to look at.... Couldn't act at all.
Is that a guy? She looks like a man and your innuendo suggezt that's the real scandal.
